                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. PATRICK J. KENNEDY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 2, 2010

  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ethel Kennedy, 
my aunt, upon the occasion of the 2010 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights 
Award ceremony. This ceremony highlighted the abuses in Mexico and 
honored local hero Abel Barrera Hernandez, founder and director of the 
Tlachinollan Center, for his courageous defense of the rights of rural 
and indigenous people living in Guerrero State in southern Mexico. Aunt 
Ethel's work with the Human Rights Award is truly remarkable.
  Aunt Ethel has been instrumental in advancing human rights. I wish 
her all the best as she continues this important work. She will 
continue to carry my own admiration, and that of all who have had the 
privilege to work with her.
